Used 2022 Ford F-150 Consumer Reviews
DKGF150
I very much enjoy driving this F150. It is my second. It rides beautifully, handles well and is very comfortable. I do, however, have a few comments for improvement. First of all, there is no written owner's manual. Having it as part of the "display" system is fine, but difficult to access and use especially when outside the cab. Second, the instrument panel should be backlit all the time. The black buttons are difficult to read even in daylight. Third, features like seat warmers, steering wheel warmer and such should go back to zero once the engine is turned off.

Who knew, a hybrid F-150!
I was in the market to down size from my 2020 F250 gas back to an F150 like the 2015 I had before and missed so much. I looked at 5 different F150's and when I took the new F150 Hybrid for a drive I felt like I was back in my old ride from 2015. Smooth, not to big and quiet. I know, I had a F250 for a need and that need is gone, yes I also knew that a F250 is a heavy duty and that is why it's so different. Anyway, I'm getting the best of both worlds! The new hybrid has power to tow like my F250 had, acceleration like a Raptor and gas mileage better than even the best small engine F150. I'm averaging over 25 mpg. A comfortable ride and cheap on the gas! What a deal, so happy I bought it and besides the normal warranty, hybrid associated parts are a 100K/8 year warranty if your concerned about cost of parts for the electric motor and battery, plus you don't plug it in!

Big Blue rules!
Coming from a 2014 Tacoma, this was like stepping into a Starship! This vehicle has everything you could possibly want and the quality control is unbelievable! thought the 2.7 eco-boost might be a little short winded on this vehicle but it has guts plus! Just a pleasure to drive.

Great Truck...Huge Difference from my 2020
This truck is a huge step forward from my 2020 F-150 I previously owned. More soft touch than ever before. Switched back to the 5.0 form a 3.5 ecoboost (I will say I enjoy both engines and no issues from my 3.5). The new 5.0 has plenty of power and torque as well. Decent fuel mileage as well. The truck currently has 3500 miles and is getting between 19.5-20 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving. The Sync 4 with the 12 inch touch screen is the best infotainment system I have ever had. Great ride quality as well and cab noise is minimal to none. Lariat is one of the best trims if you are looking for the best bang for the buck!

F-150 Ford Lariat 2022 502a
Best vehicle I've ever owned. Expensive and worth it. Warns me and wakes me up if I'm getting sleepy on a long trip. Parks itself. Has onboard scales. Beautiful truck. Real 4x4. FX4 off road shocks and bash plates. Extra long side steps that allow me to stand on them to deal with cargo in the bed near the front. Fold-flat work space in front of console. Excellent navigation. Driving feel is great: tight and cushy simultaneously. Hybrid. Good MPG (21.1 MPG+/-) and over that on highway. Outstanding comfortable seating with electric steering wheel placement that moves back when I get out and move back into place when I turn the engine on. Quiet. Giant roof skylight. 9.4 inches ground clearance. Nice tires. gorgeous chrome package. Front headlights turn around corners. Onboard 120v outlets front and rear. Power tailgate. Lane keeping that gently guide your steering back to center of lane. BlueCruise with front radar to maintain safe following distance. Emergency braking when moving forward and backward. ProTrailer assist that automatically controls the steering to backup straight or curved without jack-knifing your trailer. Two 12" all digital large work screens. On and on. Very nice. BTW: the selections below didn't have the Hybrid Lariat SuperCrew 5.5' box, 3.5L 6cyl which is what I really have. UPDATE, nearly a year later: everything still applies. No changes. No problems for such a complex piece of machinery.

Unfortunately I passed up buying a new ram for this truck. Since I’ve had the ford it’s been in the shop three times for the turbo as well as leaks from back window. Never again

Awesome truck!
We just got a new 2022 F150 and we’re happy with the vehicle. The only negative I can say is that Ford is still having an issue with surface rust on the under body. I wish they would fix this issue.

Buyer Beware!
We have a 2022 Ford F150 Lariat edition and we have had 3 issues with the lemon. One was quite serious and we could have been involved in a really bad accident. This last one however has pushed us over the edge. It's the issue of "key not detected" and the truck won't start. $70,000 and Ford's Customer Service rep hung up on me when I asked her to direct my call to the service department. We have bought 2 brand new Fords before this one, but are going to switch to a different truck company next year. Do your homework or just take it from me, DO NOT BY A FORD! By the way, if it allowed me, I would have given it no stars.

Platinum 4-dr Supercrew 2WD 5.5 Hybrid & Powerful
I picked up my ordered 2022 F150 Platinum (Plat High, 2wd) Powerboost July 26, 2022. I waited 10 mths. I ordered it with just about every feature except - moonroof, lay-flat and scales as something to tow an Airstream. It is my fourth F150. I haven't had any issues to deal with other than two minor recalls- tail light flicker, and washer motor neither were of problem for me. The truck is amazing. Quiet, it is a bit more jittery than my previous Platinum (2017) but it also has a higher rated frame and has Good Year tires. All others had Michelins which I am fond. The hybrid in this truck enhances the overall truck use. It's is not a super MPG booster and I knew that going into the choice. It is my daily driver just as the other trucks so I can share that I am experiencing overall 2mpg better than my 2017 3.5L 10 speed Ecoboost and about 4mpg better in town driving. I do not use the truck computer but at the pump readings and I have done it for all my trucks and I can compare easily. So, to anyone considering a hybrid, my figures give you an idea of the MPG part of it. If you drive in town more (under 45mph) then you will gain more. My overall is all types of driving average. It is not a big difference but for a truck, that is good. The other aspect of the hybrid is assisted power. This truck is a beast even as 2wd and 3:55 rear (max tow) as seen in specs and in reviews of 0-60, etc. It is a nice vehicle. One thing that has happened to me on the road twice... I decelerated really fast and stopped. The transmission did not get a chance to shift down all the way. When I went to pull out, it was still in a higher gear- this was in the first few months, not since but it happened. The powertrain with the hybrid is different and takes some getting used to. It is mostly automatic but I have learned that you can trick it into electric mode by tapping the brakes and going for a mile or so before it starts the engine. Engine starts are almost completely seamless. Everything else is...truck. I want to say too that I would not own a truck unless I needed one to tow. I like them but I was always a sports sedan guy. That said, buy a truck for what trucks are for and actually, they SHOULD be reviewed and rated that way. Payload, the weight a truck can hold (cargo) and towing, the pulling weight rating, is critical to trucks and should be advertised as plainly as the price. It is amazing the way reviews may mention a trucks towing capacity but EACH truck is different. Just because it is an F150 does not mean ANY F150 tows or carries the same weight. There is a door placard that tells you this truck can carry #pounds- do not exceed. Why that matters is for evveryone's safety- yours and mine on the highway. Trailer tongue weight, even if shifted with a weight distribution jack still puts its weight on the truck and counts against payload. My truck payload max is just over 1600# and my trailer tongue is 1000#. Just a plug there! The hyrbrid as no problem towing or powering my camper, with its 7.2KW onboard inverter. My towing mpg is the same as my 2017 non-hybrid so far. I would highly recommend this truck. From what I understand, the Hemi and the Diesel are disappearing. My second choice was a Denali Diesel. I would have picked up an additional 2-3 MPG but diesel fuel and def pricing would eat about 2mpg $ savings away so I went this direction.
Love my 2022 Power Boost King Ranch
This is by far the most user friendly truck iv'e ever bought from Ford and iv'e owned probably owned 8 F150's. Zero problems so far except for the 2 recalls that i wasn't even having a problem with. Gas mileage is 21.9 on the hwy which is good but not what i hear and read other people are getting. I actually look forward to climbing into this truck and driving it. This trucks pulls my trailers so well that i almost forget that i'm pulling a trailer. To be honest with you i'm still finding things out that this truck can do. The only thing that i wish Ford would do is furnish a really good manual with color pictures instead of the old B&W manuals they 'v supplied for years. Surely a nice manual can't be that expensive especially for what they are getting in cost to buyers to purchase their trucks I had to put the wrong model because my truck wasn't listed. Mine is a King Ranch Eco Boost 3.5 v-6
My 3rd F150 in 17yrs. Can't go wrong!
As always i only look at Ford trucks when i want to upgrade. They never disappoint! They may cost a bit more.. but you get what you pay for. I went w/ '22 F150 Lariat FX4 crew cab w/ 5.0L Coyote engine this time. My previous truck was an F150 XLT FX4 w/ the excellent Gen2- 3.5L TGDI . I could of certainly kept any of the 3 i had previously purchased for the long haul.. but every 6yrs or so i tend to want the lastest tech & vehicle advancements. Always have friends & family lined up to buy my old truck! I recommend Ford trucks to folks when they ask me without hesitation. Been the best selling truck for 45yrs straight in North America. What more can ya say! [non-permissible content removed]

Great Product
I love the Ford F150. Most versatile vehicle I have ever owned. Passenger capacity of 6 (same as most cars) and much more room inside. With the box, I can haul most anything I need. With the tarp, bigger trunk than any car. It drives and rides so smooth. Have had several comments from friends about how roomy the back seat is. Plus back seat folds up for more room for a pet or other things

Madly in LOVE with it! It's been fantastic!
I had a 2005 Audi A6, then a 2008 Benz C300, then a 2012 F-150, then a 2016 F-150, then a 2019 Silverado RST, and now a 2022 Ford F-150 Lariat 4×4 with all the bells and whistles. I wanted the Limited but I could not get the long bed, only the short bed, so I bought a Lariat and put around $20,000 worth of options on it. I used to buy the F-150 because of the incredible resale value. Now that I am older and very comfortably retired, the resale value would not matter but the F-150 is lot more comfortable than just about all the other cars out there. The continuously damping suspension. The seats. The cavernous interior. The technical features. The weight scale in the truck bed. Its ability to tow. The BlueCruise is a nice addition, now I don't have to keep my hands on the steering wheel during the long drives to the house in Vegas. The gas mileage has been around 27, thanks to the hybrid PowerBoost engine. I once managed to get 31 miles per gallon on a drive from my house in Monarch Beach to Los Angeles Airport and back. I love this truck. For some reason, I could not select Lariat 4dr SuperCrew 4WD 6.5 ft. LB... but that's what I have.

Missing Massage Seat?
I got a 2022 Hurbid Gray F-150 Platinum 4 x 4 from SC that had over 6K miles on it. I have driven it for over a few hundred miles and really like it. It is quiet and the MPG on average is around 20.5 with mixed in-town and freeway driving. I hope the lithium battery would last a long time. The one thing I found out after purchase is that some of the 2022 Platinum trims do NOT come with the massage seats due to the vehicle computer chip shortage, so if that is important to you, make sure you check that before you buy. I added Bullet Liner to the truck bed and I am pleased with that too. The installer said that liner was founded by the guy who sold his previous business to Line X. However, he charged me extra for the lift gate lining because he had to remove the plastic cover and do extra work to protect the parts due to the high pressure spraying.

F1 Hale
My company purchased several of these vehicles for new work trucks thinking it was a four-wheel drive because of the messed up switch on the dashboard I accepted one. Since then I have had this truck for a total of 10,000 miles. It is by far the worst piece of that I have ever set foot in. As far as a work truck I can't even do my job because if one hell likes to put itself in the park and try to constantly kill me such as throwing me back into lane of travel that it thinks is Elena travel but no it's a vehicle crossing the WL line trying to hit me. My company has a grading system using GPS all those driving these vehicles have had a problem with hard brakes because it likes to lock down in the middle of the interstate and put itself into Park because if he's a pothole or in my case fog. If there's a way to uninstall the AI on the vehicle that's not supposed to have ai please write me back my company would like to know before having your vehicle repurchase from us and lost some wages settled.

Driving a school bus
I grew up on a farm and learned how to drive grain trucks at a very young age but I didn’t realize I’d have to drive one in 2022 especially after paying $50,000 for it. It is at a level of dangerous as you cannot turn around on a four-lane road within two lanes. Just bought my last Ford!

Not So "Sporty" F 150 Sport Model
Huge let down! This truck is the Sport model, but lacks immensely in performance. Lack of torch leave your 'back end' hanging out in traffic (literally). The start/stop engine government requirement absolutely impacts engine performance. Ready to trade this in!!

Great So Far
2022 F150 XLT in rapid red with chrome package. Only 1K miles so far but no issues outside of a the funky rubber boot in the drop in bed liner that makes it tough to push the button for the bed lights. Truck rides incredibly smooth and quiet compared to the F350 I owned previously, and highway mpg is about 27 - incredible.
22 F150 2,7EB payload package
Passed on a 21 KR then set my sights on a 22 XLT 302à 2.7EB payload package that the to glitzy of a19 701à Platinum was traded for. The 19 was a max tow and a great vehicle just not my type of vehicle. The 22 XLT 302a has what is needed to be a useable TRUCK that meets both needs for work and doing daily tasks. The 2.7EB matched to the payload package is the F150 secret package that exceeds in both areas. This is a keeper truck. Just oil changes and Ford recalls done on the truck.

Enjoying Decision
Yes Ford has issues with recalls and reliabilty, but what manufacturer doesnt today with so much of the vehicle being controled electronically and with computers over mechanical. I have a 2022 Platinum High trim, the ontly option I didnt have was start/stop (deleted at time due to chip shortage) and panoramic sunroof, which I did not want this option (I expect this to have issues down the line). I have only had 2 recalls, one being wiper motor, which always worked for me, but had replaced; and the wiring rubing on rear axel (which also was a non issue for my particular build). Other than those issues, I havent had any. Does Bluecruise shift in lane some?- Not really, at least I dont think more than I would if I was holding wheel. Does Bluecruise have its faults - yes, but nothing I am unsatisfied with, other than Ford charging an insane price after the 3 year time is up, but this I think is where the market is heading (all subscription based), but then one shouldnt have to pay for the technology up front and then be charged for the use of it. I also went with a V8 engine, not because other ones are bad, I just felt that I wanted as simple as an engine I could get, and after doing my research appears these have less issues than the 3.5. I didnt plan to make this too long, I just wanted to say that i am happy with my purchase, I'm sure that there are others who have some issues, so far I happen to have no issues than the 2 recalls, and I also planned ahead and did an extended warranty for 8 years as well. (Advice shop around for this dont have to do it at the dealer at delivery, and you can get a much better deal)

2022 Lariat w/ bells & whistles, rattles, clunks
Higher end appointments, sky roof, leather, large screen, generator, however, it also has more than its fair share of issues. Driver's seat collapsed within 4k miles and had to be replaced (and NO, I'm not a big guy). The infotainment software is like a roulette wheel of things that work properly, or not. Memory seats works most of the time, radio resets randomly, whole infotainment systems will randomly reboot, usually WHILE DRIVING, entry lights work most of the time, climate control only randomly goes crazy and switches to full blast fan, or radically changes temp. But the most annoying thing is the rattling, creaking, clunking, etc from various places inside the cab. It is maddening. It has been happening almost since the day I got it, and the dealer seemingly has no way of dealing with it. Truck has less that 19k miles and is getting noisier by the day. Had my wife drive around while I crawled around inside the cab trying to find the source of the noises, but they seem to be coming from everywhere. I believe it's either the result of rushed assembly, poor materials (adhesives, fasteners), or both. Whatever it is, it shouldn't be happening to a $70k+ truck that has spent most of its young life on paved city streets and highways. The flaky software is updated at least a few times a month, and more often than not, seemingly does noting, or worse, introduces new electronic gremlins.

I write this with a heavy heart
I bought a Raptor and was slightly annoyed by the dealerships adding high mark-ups. Nonetheless I always wanted one and decided to go for it. I bought a 2022 Silver Raptor that was slightly customized (wheels, leveling kit, painted trim to match, etc) by Ken Grody Ford in Buena Park, CA. At first I was somewhat intimidated by the width of the truck but that quickly dissipated while driving the roughly 1.5 hours home. This truck was awesome… it looked amazing and drove so well. I found all the electronics to be excellent and easy to use …. Love wireless CarPlay! The ride was smooth with great power. I don’t drive super aggressive and averaged approx. 15 miles a gallon in City driving. I really loved this truck. I have had all kinds of cars over the years from other F150s to Porsche… this was my favorite all around vehicle that I have ever owned. Recently, I took the truck on a cross country road trip from CA to NY and was getting 16.5 MPG and everyone was really comfortable (I had travelled cross country before in an Audi Q8 which was also good but this was much roomier) and found the truck to be really capable in all driving conditions. The adaptive cruise control works amazingly well… I drove hundreds of miles with it on (and I normally hate cruise control) and found it to be incredibly intuitive and convenient. This is where is gets painful… the other day while driving, from Boston to New York, I was rear ended on the freeway by a driver going over 70 miles per hour. In short my beautiful truck was totaled! The good news is that no one was seriously injured and the truck kept us very safe. If I had anything bad to say about the Raptor it would be that one day there was a very strange static and popping sound coming from the speakers. I thought my speakers had blown and the sound wouldn’t go away after turning the car off. I drove to a dealer that was close by and they did t know what the problem was. After researching the issue on some forums I found out that this can happen after an over the air update and that it would go away. Sure enough, after getting home, the noise went away after a couple of hours and no other issues occurred. Buying a Raptor is more of an emotional decision as opposed to a logical one because of the mark-up… nonetheless I would highly recommend this truck to anyone in the market who is willing to shell out the over sticker price. You will not be disappointed.

Why
Generally I like the truck. The rear seat configuration is verry nice. Being able to fold part of the seat up for extra room works well with my rolling walker to keep it out of the weather. Owners manual access is a joke. I do have a problem not being able to use my phone. It worked fine for about 2 months. The local dealer has told me it may take 2 days or more to fix. They may have to order a new display and control system. I can't be without my office for that long. I have to schedule oil changes at least a month ahead. So if I have to wait 2 days to get this fixed it may not be in my best interest. To use the phone I will find a place to park and turn the truck off.

Ford lack of quality and accountability
Platinum PB Edmunds can’t figure out different engine options exist. Ford POS, electrical issues constantly, the Hybrid isn’t meant to be used sparingly, the battery system starts going haywire, 10R80 10spd Transmission is crap, Ford had lied and withheld information for years regarding blatant hardware defect in the transmission. Value is abysmal.

Hoped for the hype and fell flat on its face
Bought this 22Limited Powerboost , for the mpg and the generator option. It was the last F150 our dealer received with zero deletes. In the first 12 months . We have a new Cat. Converter , 12V battery , BSIG. In town I average 18mpgs , terrible for a Hybrid. The AC smells like a sour towel. The ride is nice , and it looks good. 19 service orders in 22k miles is a bit excessive. This is my first Ford and will be my last Ford. * update * my dealership has replaced everything in the heating/cooling system. The core, evaporator/ blower while the smell is gone it’s been cold since they have done it , when the temps climb we will see. Still not impressed with the MPG and the SYNC system sucks as well. Trying to be patient but it’s not looking good for a long term ownership. 30k Mike update , I’d like to say it’s all better but it isn’t . Truck A/C still smells , rear left turn signal has a mind of its own and whether it works or not . The transmission still shifts hard. Ford denied the buy back , gave me a $100 deductible extended warranty to 75k .. I’m shopping but it appears all trucks are crap now.

When life gives you lemons, use the lemon law!
First off, I had a 2020 Ford Explorer St which was riddled with issues and many, many dealer trips. Used the lemon law and settled out of court. Due to this, I said this is probably a one off thing and let me go buy the best selling vehicle in America. I go to my local Ford dealer, build a 22 Ford F-150 Lariat 5.0 but about every option save a pano moon-roof. Three months later, I take delivery for a cool 70k.. One week into ownership the issues start. I am at the store and come out to leave, start my truck and the B&O sound system goes berserk by making the loudest whomp, whomp sound the 19 speakers could produce. Long story short, drove home with this noise, lost some hearing in my left ear temporarily and the only way to stop it was to disconnect the battery cable! The problems did not stop there. -blowns speakers as a result of the aforementioned story -two engine oil seals leaking oil -power window making a popping noise due to factory misaligned window sill -front bumper also factory misaligned and had to be replaced -windshield washer motor replaced -back sliding glass rattled when the music was up-replaced -engine rattles like crazy upon start up and never fixed due to the dealer saying 'ALL FORD ENGINS RATTLE"... -Drivers powers window switch died and replaced -Center stack power shift level malfunctioned and had to be replaced -a few different recalls from Ford. -transmission started to shift rough and jerky, and my dealer was backed up 6 months for the transmission guy, so I never had it looked at. I sued Ford once again under my states lemon law and they settled with me. Then I promptly traded it in. Ford F-150 lost a ton of value over a 16 month period. 21k to be exact. I was amazed. This is now two back to back high dollar UNION MADE Fords that I purchased only to have tons of problems in which I lemoned. By contrast, my wife bought a 2022 VW Tiguan, made in Mexico (sadly) by NON UNION labor and has not had one warranty issue in 10k miles and 17 months of ownership. So, I say shame on the American union made junk we produce in this country. I traded my truck in for a 24 VW Atlas R-Line and couldn't be happier. This is coming from a long time truck owner of various brands. Before you buy, research that Ford paid out over 2 billion in warranty claims for their products in 2022, the most of any US car manufacturer. I wish I had done more research before I bought. Ford today is not your daddy's Ford company. Sadly.

LOVE this Truck...but it's a lemon
I purchased a 2022 Ford F-150 Lariat PowerBoost (Hybrid), fully loaded, with high hopes. On paper and honestly, even in practice when everything works, this truck is phenomenal. The tech is cutting-edge. The interior is luxurious. The ride is smooth. And the PowerBoost drivetrain delivers incredible torque and fuel efficiency, especially paired with the Pro Power Onboard system. It’s everything I wanted in a modern truck.
